It’s been a month since I last slapped something up here? Dang. Well, here ya go.
Spring has sprung… mostly. Steve built a retainer garden kind of doohickey, right in front of the wellhouse. (Remind me to tell you guys about the new plans for both the wellhouse and the regular [...]

Steve got the front fence to the big garden done and we all helped to paint it. (Yes, some of us are still picking paint out of our hair.) This will be the front of the goat pen. The rest is temporary (ugly) fencing, back up to the trailer. The sheet metal you see laying [...]

We’re getting some more goats (dairy/meat crosses) pretty soon so Steve’s been busting butt on getting some good fence up. He might get it done tomorrow except for the painting but we’ll see.
Getting the panels put in.
And the two remaining hogs tilling up half of the big garden. I smell bacon!

Steve got the woodstove in a few weeks ago and we’ve been warm ever since.
The oversized, bought-on-after-Christmas-clearance-last-year stockings hung with care…
Zombie dog and assorted kids in front of the Christmas “corner”. Makes ya all warm and fuzzy inside, doesn’t it?
And progress in the bathroom, starting to the right inside the door. Painted Martha Stewart Pee [...]

I’ve been a random picture-taking fool lately. No rhyme. No reason. Okay, maybe a little rhyme. But definitely no reason.
Duke and Nellie dancing in the speech therapist’s office.
Same place, GQ look.
More random cuteness.
A “wild” watermelon that started growing where the kitchen sink water drains out. The plant died back so we picked the melon. Not [...]

The bathroom is still under construction so will update on that later. In the meantime…
The urinal here is only partially installed. (Yes, it’s dirty but not THAT kind of dirty because it’s as yet unused.) Since we’re not running water through the top spud for flushing (we’ll hand-flush in order to save water — by [...]

David brought back a water closet tile hanging thingymajig from his trip to Greece last year. I’ve liquid-nailed it to the bathroom door (also adding a mirror to each side). Just in case anyone ever gets lost and isn’t sure which room is which…
I slapped a mirror up on the wall above where the sink [...]

The well dude came out a week or two ago and helped get everything up and running with the well. Since then, Steve has been plumbing everything up as he gets the time and patience. I’m hoping he’ll have everything completely done (well, done is a relative term around here) within the next week or [...]

This weekend has become designated spring cleaning weekend. This afternoon, some fella is following Steve home from work to haul off some giant piles of useless scrap metal. That’ll be a HUGE improvement!
The plants have all been moved outside, divided into three sections: edible, nonedible, and ICU/morgue.
The new pot and tool corral.
The [...]

The legs are up on the well house. The roof will extend back towards the camera to cover an area of the drive there, for parking the toys. It will extend to meet the edge of the house if it ever gets done.
Nellie being Nellie.
And Duke being a big ham because he’s just [...]
